A Race Divided

One day in time as the times of sand falls in the hour glass
We were one
Until that day will come a 
Race divided
Knowledge provided
But we stay full of defiance
Let us join back the alliance
Let us bring back our black liberty
And not become a
Race divided
The banner for rights
But instead we fight
And were keeping it true
A race divided
I am black and young
But I wish that one day
African Americans won’t be
A race divided

-Much love-
Richard Corbett
